There are three stone-built shieling-huts along the base of a steep rocky slope at the head of the Allt na Smuide some 700m NW of Diubaig, each of which has a single corbelled cell leading off from the N side. Their main compartments are sub-rectangular within walls standing up to 1m in height and 1m in thickness; the middle one, which is the largest, measures 3.3m by 2.2m. The cell of the westernmost hut stands 0.6m high to its roof.
